Synergistic Research Powercell SX Power Conditioner

Hi,

There is not that much chatter about the SR powercell SX power conditioner so wanted to get people to share their thoughts especially with the SX powercable.  SR has already moved onto the SRX power cables so does that mean the SRX powercell will be released by spring 2021?  In any event I think their powercell 12 UEF SE is excellent and am already running it with a SX power cable.  I am especially interested in those who have upgraded from the 12 UEF SE to the SX.  I am already running dedicated lines so am wondering how much more better can it get?

If you hate SR products or find all power conditioners to be snake oil but have not heard any of the more recent ones from SR please share your thoughts in some other forum discussion.

Congratulations @karmapolice  It will keep getting better as both the PowerCell unit and the outlet get more time on them. If I remember correctly, you already had the SX cable (?). 

The grounding block upgrade is worth it, but going with the PowerCell first is smart and the right move.

Just bought the PC SX and selling my 12SE.

SR Powercells are at the top of their designs and are a must to have in ones system.

Those of you using the powercell sx or even the powercell 12 uef power conditioner are you grounding the power cable for the amplifier?

SR advises people that many users prefer amps as well as speakers to not be grounded.

Just curious if there is a consensus

I grounded the case of monoblocks, as I was advised by SR. On amplifiers, the effect is less, but positive. For amps, i chose duelund 1.0 hook-up wire.
